    Before (I cut my own hair during SIP and as you can see, it needed some LOVE)
    Kailey J.

    Like many of us, I needed a haircut BADLY after a year of SIP, but my previous hair stylist moved to another state and I didn't know who to go to. Looked around Yelp, saw amazing reviews for this place. I called and got in with Jason. He is absolutely AMAZING! I didn't really know what I wanted, other than what I DIDN'T want (my mop of hair after giving myself a covid cut months back). I also told him I had an interview soon. He knew exactly what to do. The wash was fantastic and SO relaxing. I didn't realize how much I missed the salon until at that moment. He made great conversation, but also knew when I was just zoning out and let me be quiet (I'm still working on how to socialize again after so long LOL). I was already smiling as I watched my hair transform as he styled it. In the past I haven't always liked how hairstylists styled my hair after, but Jason nailed it! I feel like a regular already- I can't wait to go back for my next cut! Also great about Stranded is Penny, the person who set up my appointment and worked the counter when I was there. SO sweet and friendly. Just another reason to go back! I was SUPER happy about their covid safety practices, too. Masks on, sanitizing all chairs, keeping clients separate and air circulating through the shop. I felt really safe in there. Lastly, the location is fantastic. Plenty of street parking (a rare find in Santa Cruz), right next to a deli for a bite to eat after getting a haircut, and beautiful sunlight coming through. Such a relaxing and friendly experience. Highly recommended, can't wait to go back!

    Look at this color. Mindy you are so good at this woman,I love you. No one makes me feel like a rockstar with hair like this, but youu!

    No words just look at this color. Mindy Palmer you genius I feel like a million bucks. Your talent is much appreciated.

    I've been coming here for a year now and I love it! Mindy is super sweet and very talented, I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted and tried a few different things but she fixed my color, had a vision for me, and a perfect job!! The place is very clean and professional. Penny the receptionist is a great communicator and always ready to help.

    CDC doesn't allow regular styling right now so she gave me box braids and they're beautiful

    Let me tell you about my hair when I walked in.....I hadn't seen a stylist in three years....THREE YEARS.....I slowly turned into a die hard box dye do it yourself fan...out of laziness and concerned about cost. Little did I know the amazing talents when you research the right stylist. Roxann didn't even know what she had coming. Poor sweet angel.....I should have warned the front desk person that Roxann should clear her schedule for the rest the day. Roxann looked at me like I was the "great world hair challenge competition" and took me on like a champ. I'm talking hair down to my ass with a 3 year old dye/bleach job. She had techniques that applied the bleach and lifted the color and made it look amazing. I walked out looking and feeling like a Victoria Secret model.

    I had my appointment booked last minute but it was so worth it. Mindy was super nice and she was able to turn my butchered box dyed hair into exactly what I wanted.

    I went to Mindy for my first EVER professional hair coloring. I wanted an ombré effect and highlights with blonde - $95. It's definitely a little pricey but when it comes to my hair, I'll pay it!! Mindy was super sweet and knowledgable. She took her time painting on each highlight for me, and overall I have a very natural lighter blonde look now. The salon has lots of fun energy, while still maintaining it's professional vibe. HINT! They serve mimosas on Saturdays!! If you ever want a little tiny escape from life, go to Stranded for excellent color and a mimosa to sip on!

The cuts are below the going rate so if you can, let them enjoy your appreciation! I'll be back for a trim soon.

Luckily I found Surecuts which happened to be across the street from my gym, so it was an easy hop over after a workout to get the hair managed. The salon is small and well maintained. I came in October and they were definitely feeling the spooky Halloween vibes. They have a restroom available for use and an arcade machine to burn some time on if you are waiting for your turn. I made an appointment (and they do 30 minute blocks) but was able to walk in early when they opened. Men's haircut is $25 which is a very reasonable price. I worked with Yareli who was very sweet and even offered some life tips while getting my cut done. She was intentional in asking to make sure what I wanted was happening, and that I liked the end product. In about 20 minutes, I was done and dusted with a new fresh cut. You can pay with your digital wallet, card, or cash. Don't forget to ask for a stamp card - your 5th visit will be $5 off! Small parking lot out in front so easy to drop in and get the business done.
